Tumbela is the most unlikely I'd say.

IMO Kruger male and Avoca seems to be the most likely culprits since S.Avoca isn't seen since Savanna shared a vid of him and Kruger male in the West a few days ago, then Kruger male was seen alone in the north and then with BDM and NK pride.

S.Avoca is retired and mostly tolerated the Mangheni cubs, maybe reason why only one cub died.

But it could have been the 2 Kambulas that are not in the North, though again if it were them, would only 1 cub be alive? They are the most territorial of any of these males, and probably killed the Talamati subs months ago.

Also, would they so confidently chase Kruger and BDM off just days after being chased off by PCM?

Anyway, maybe news of who the culprits were will be eventually shared, or possibly we'll realize PCM caught the S.Avoca.

But regardless of who the culprits are, if PCM managed to save the pride from annihilation, they deserve the praise. I can't even "blame" them from losing one cub here since they apparently acted way faster than I could have expected.

Uggh.. you just gave me a terrible thought.  I'd been curious about the Kruger male being seen today without the S. Avoca.  And both of them were together near enough to here last week, and if this did happen on Thursday then ... sigh.  It's possible the S. Avoca could have been caught.  I guess we're going to have to wait and see what transpires.  It's a shame.  So many rogue Males, and the PCM's and the 4 Kambula's have left such a mess through this area.  It would suck if this was what got the S. Avoca, but it's possible he's been trying for a warrior's ending all along.  He just kept poking his nose in places that you were shocked he got away with it. Reply
